Workbench settings can be customized using the Preferences dialog box. You can access this dialog box by selecting Preferences... from the Window menu. Changes to these settings are saved in the current workspace. If you want to copy your workbench settings to another workspace, use the Export wizard.

- General
Controls the workspace, perspectives, editors, build order, linked resources, file associations, path variables, background operations, keyboard and mouse settings.
- C/C++
Controls the C/C++ environment settings, CDT build variables, syntax formatting, and default project wizard settings.
- DS-5

- Help
